Leon/Madison County Advocate Program

Advocates in the Leon/Madison County Program answer the 24 hour hotline and accompany survivors to the hospital, law enforcement agencies, and court proceedings in Leon and Madison Counties. Because advocates who provide escorts to the hospital are required to arrive within 45 minutes, only Advocates who live within 30 miles of the hospital can sign up for escort duty. Advocates can also help staff with special programs such as our Safety Awareness and Self Defense Workshops held annually in each county, educational presentations, and other SARC events.

Advocate Training Classes are held every May. Training sessions are split between training locations in Centerville and Madisonville. Interviews for potential advocates will be conducted in either Madisonville or Centerville, depending on the applicant's preference. If you have any questions about becoming an Advocate for SARC, please contact Heather Wheeler, Director of Outreach Programs, at (979) 731-1000 or hwheeler@rapecrisisbv.org.
